Top answer

If you are supposed to write something of your own, but instead copy someone else's work and pretend it is your own, you are plagiarizing their work. This is what the speaker in your example is doing, pretending he wrote the material in the speech himself, but in fact just repeating someone else's research paper.

The material was taken from somebody else's writing without acknowledgement of the source and the speaker pretended it was his own work.
